Episode 30 - Devil Decoder: Satanic Symbols Explained

 

From the pentagram (or is it a pentacle?) to the Sigil of Lucifer, a Satanic symbol is easy to spot – but less easy to source and explain. In this episode, we discuss the origins and meanings of all those cool Satanic symbols you see stitched on the patches of the jackets of every Black Mass attendee. Simone, Daniel, Tabitha, and Satanic artist Jason Lenox do a deep dive to help you keep your Satanic symbols straight. Plus, we share what we learned on the "Sunday Streets" of San Francisco, Simone is moved by Satanic gestures of sympathy, and we try to figure out which Rugrats character Baphomet looks like.

Praise, condemnation, questions, and suggested funk songs for Alex "Nasty" Jones can cover can be sent to [email protected].
